Team Fedor’s Vadim Nemkov looks to remain BELLATOR 205-pound champion on September 25, further cementing his status as the best light heavyweight fighter on the planet. У своїй останній прогулянці, Nemkov went five hard rounds with former championФіл Девіс, earning a unanimous decision victory en route to punching his ticket to the semifinals. Should Nemkov defend his belt again and move on to the grand prix final, between Davis—a wrestler by trade—and the power-punching “Rumble,” Nemkov will have showcased his full repertoire as a mixed martial artist in the tournament.

Bader—despite his participation in the Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix—remains the BELLATOR Heavyweight Champion, a title he plans on unifying with the interim-champValentin Moldavksyfollowing the conclusion of the 205-pound tournament. Bader’s storied career has earned him the moniker of a legend slayer, with wins over all-time greats likeФедір Ємельяненко, Антоніо Рожеріо Ногейра, Рашад Еванс, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
Corey Anderson has made an excellent impression since his arrival in BELLATOR, reeling off two dominant victories over the likes of veteranМелвін Манхуфand former ACA ChampionDovletdzhan Ягшімурадов, both ending via TKO. The Rockton, Погано. product came to the promotion boasting an already impressive resumé, previously triumphing over Johnny Walker, Glover Teixeira and Jan Błachowicz amongst others.

The former kickboxer remains a force to be reckoned with and holds records for the most fights (16) and wins (12) in BELLATOR heavyweight history. With high-profile victories overВіталій Мінаков, Mirko Cro Cop, Antoni Hardonk, and Matt Mitrione, the Parisian is keen to pad his current promotional records, set new ones, and earn his shot at BELLATOR gold.
The man nicknamed “The Paratrooper,” Kharitonov is the owner of an equally notable MMA resume, with the Russian scoring vicious wins against some of the sport’s marquee names, such as Fabricio Werdum, Андрій Арловський, Педро Ріццо, Murilo “Ninja” Rua, Мітріон, and Alistair Overeem.

Following a split decision win against Tywan Claxton, Wilson scored a violent knockout of Sergio DeBari, then followed that victory up with an equally vicious spinning backfist stoppage over SBG’s Pedro Carvalho in April.

Джуліана Веласкес: “I think I would be clinching a bit more, her striking didn’t surprise me, but I felt that I did enough to retain the title.”
“I beat her with my jab, if you look at her face, it’s messed up, if you look at mine, my face is fine. I think people in the audience favor her because she has a kickboxing style and I counter, but I think it was my boxing that was the difference tonight.”
“When I come in here, I don’t think of myself as a champion, I think of myself as someone who needs to earn the belt and tonight I felt that I did that.”
#5–Тайрелл Фортуна (11-1, 1 Північна Кароліна) переможений #7-Мітріон (13-9, 1 Північна Кароліна) за допомогою представлення (страйку) на 1:45 першого раунду Тайрелл Фортуна: “I feel great coming out of the fight. He stepped forward so I went for the shot instead of throwing the punch and I guess I made contact with my head. Besides that I was running through him for the takedown. As you saw, I finished on top, and the fight went from there.
“I didn’t feel it (the clash of heads), I can only go off of what he was saying at the time. Як я сказав, I was just looking to get on top and continue to fight so I didn’t really know what else to do. I thought if there was a contact that the ref would have saw and we would have stopped that’s why I paused for a second on top of him. I didn’t go right to punching. Once the ref said to continue, I was continuing to fight.
“I want Tim Johnson. I don’t want a title shot. I’d rather have Tim Johnson first. That’s really the only fight I’ve been training for since that loss. Мені, with him taking that loss (against Valentin Moldavsky) and me getting this win, it should line us right up… I’m gonna’ try to knock his a– out just like he did me.”
Matheus Mattos (13-2-1) переможений Cee Jay Hamilton (15-9) технічним нокаутом (страйку) на 1:33 два тури
Matheus Mattos: “He’s a wrestler. Так, he could have done the boring game and taken me down. But he chose to go for the striking. На щастя, he did it because it was a beautiful knockout. If Bellator could send more strikers to me, then they would be welcomed.”
"Я прекрасно себе почуваю, perfectly strong. But I felt my knee go ‘thwack.’ And I stopped moving a lot. I didn’t do much footwork. I knew this was going to be on my hands, because my leg was painful. З надією, everything went well.
“My two losses were to two of the best in the world. Так, I’ve been fighting at a high level a long time and I’m prepared for everyone. They can see that this fight welcomed me to Bellator, і тепер вони мене знають. They know Matheus Mattos is a striker and he’s coming for us.
“I’m in my prime now so I’m prepared for everyone.”
#2–Арлін Blencowe (14-8) переможений Dayana Silva (9-6) технічним нокаутом (удари) на 1:00 три раунди з
Арлін Blencowe: "Я прекрасно себе почуваю. I want to give a shout out to my kids at home. I’ve been away from home for nine weeks and it’s the longest I’ve ever been without my kids. Так, this win is for you.”
“I was just trying to gauge my distance. It was starting to be a little bit of a slow fight, so sorry about that fans. I could hear you yelling. But I was determined to keep my pace and not rush into anything. We knew that she swung with power and that the overhand right and the left hook came pretty quick. We’ve been working a lot on kicks, and I’m going to have a lot of bruises tomorrow. And hopefully her calves will be sore too.”
#5-Джонні Еблен (9-0) переможений Travis Davis (10-5) одноголосним рішенням суддів (30-27, 30-26, 30-26) Джонні Еблен: “My coaches when I came back to the corner told me not to brawl. Так, I took their advice and I thought I wrestled smart.”
“He was talking s— кажучи, "Гей, let’s brawl in the corner.’ I’m like, ‘Bro, that’s stupid.’ That’s why you’re not where I’m at. Because you don’t fight smart. You’re trying to come out here and brawl. You can do that all you want, but you’re not going to be a world champion like me.”
Попереднє Card: Сказала Соума (7-2) переможений Ронні Маркес (19-9) нокаутом (удари) на 1:09 першого раунду Коді Ло (4-0) переможений Theodore Macuka(1-1) технічним нокаутом (удари) на 1:54 першого раунду Diana Avsaragova (4-0) переможений Gabriella Gulfin (2-3) за очками (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) Аділ Бенджилані (6-3, 1 Північна Кароліна) переможений Johnny Soto (4-2) одноголосним рішенням суддів (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) Charlie Campbell (4-1) переможений Nicholas Giulietti(2-2) технічним нокаутом (удари) на 1:30 два тури
